Mission Statement for Global Training Department

vision and mission
In companies where I have worked, we have defined VISION as a statement of the situation that will exist, once the MISSION has been achieved. So VISION is a picture of the end goal – MISSION is how you will get there. (Sorry if you already knew that!)

The most effective mission statements have the involvement of all relevant parties in it’s creation – so that they feel engaged and aligned to it…..not sure how you achive this for a global mission statement! The end result is infinately better in my experience when more people are involved in it’s creation. I’d run facilitative creative sessions to explore areas such as where you’d like to be in 10 yrs time, key milestones, redefining values etc and then draw together the inputs into the global V&M.

Also – The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey – offers great insight into mission statement creation in Habit 2 – Begin with the end in mind.

I hope this helps, and provides a little direction!
